FINAL PROJECT

Rhetorical Knowledge:

·         Learn and use key rhetorical concepts through analyzing and composing a variety of texts

Define:  This means I understand things like pathos, logos and ethos and I use them to analyze and write different essays.

Explain:

I’ve used rhetorical concepts to analyze and compose texts.  In fact, I wrote a rhetorical analysis about an editorial where I analyzed logos and pathos.  In the essay I wrote, “………………………………………………” and this clearly shows how I am able to think about logos.  I also used logos when I wrote my own essay.  In my essay about the horrors of Trident Gum, I researched and included those facts in my essay when I wrote, “…………………………………….”  This example shows that I am able to use the rhetorical concept of logos in my own writing since I used facts to persuade my audience.

·         Gain experience reading and composing in several genres to understand how genre

conventions shape and are shaped by readers’ and writers’ practices and purposes.

Define: There are different types of writing, like descriptive, editorial, research-based arguments, emails and etc., and I also know that those types are shaped by what readers expect writers to do.

Explain:  Two different things you’ve written.
